A mia few questions

Imperial_Fist

<div class="IPBDescription">Probly my last q's and a's</div>i was wondering in commander mode is there fog of war? (wich is the dark areas were u can see the terrain but no units that go over it if uv exploreed thta area and moved on) and if not then shouldnt there at least be soem around the hives? and do u have to explore the area or is it up 2 the mapper?  

whats to stop commanders from jsut positioning resource nodes all over the place befor builders are there. and so when a marine places a building (or turret) all over the place. it would suck if a million  <!--emo&:siege:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/siege.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':siege:'><!--endemo-->  <!--emo&:turret:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/turret.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':turret:'><!--endemo--> all over the alaian spawn or near it. ty for ur time       <!--emo&:bob:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bob:'><!--endemo--> vrs <!--emo&:tiny:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'><!--endemo-->

Well, there is a fog of war. A commander only sees what a marine can see. If a marine is looking down a hall, and an alien comes up behind hi, the marine will not see him until the marine turns around. As for exploring the map, you will always have it explored as the map never changes each time you play it <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Yah, a commander can put turrets all over the place, but they would just be a waste of resources. Marines have to <b>build</b> them before they become operational. I oput down 5 turrets in an alien hive, whoop de do. The aliens kill 5 useless turrets and I lose a lot of resources.

so the turrets cost money jsut to put down? makes sense (unlick starcraft were resorces elave as u build) and so a turret has 1 hp? lol gues u gotta make shure of ur buildings <!--emo&:bob:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bob:'><!--endemo--> vrs <!--emo&:tiny:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'><!--endemo-->

whered u get the idea that it has 1 hp? i <i>think</i> its eak before its built and operational, but im pretty sure its not entirly useless once its built

Turrets (on both sides) cost enough to place that you generally have to think carefully about their placement.

Myself i'd prefer a system where you get charged for it as it 'builds' rather than having to save up the lump sum in advance.  I guess the way it is now is easier to code/maintain/balance.

Imperial Fist, your posts are dreadfull, if you carry on as you are I shall have to start ignoring them altogether.
